Took me a while to get the Harris reference.

Got me buggered how someone who spends their life indoors in the USA can get skin cancer at all. Sun seems to have no bite to it in the USA.

The cackler is the worst VP ever.
Kamala is what happens when you choose people for key roles not according to their ability, experience or acumen, but according to their gender or skin colour.

With all due respect, I agree to strongly disagree. This is an age old, tired tactic of the Right putting down a successful winner from the Left, using gender and skin colour as a reason for their win. I think it’s bloody offensive and disparaging reason or excuse to consider. As a coloured person, I can tell you straight that all my achievements have been due to hard work, efforts, constantly high standards and skills, not due to them feeling sorry for me or whatever due to the colour of my skin. I have never had a chip on my shoulder to think that my success was anything to do about being dark skinned. I believe that it’s the same with Kamala.

That's interesting that you take a comment about one person and then generalise it - which is basically what the left do. If I don't like a gay person, then according to the left, I am a homophobe. If I don't like a coloured person, I must be racist. This is the logic the left use to try and dominate any discussion.

Nothing of what Rita said is about you, or any other person - but you have used the left's defence. If anyone criticises Kamala, then they are racists (as she is coloured) and sexist (as she is a woman).

Kamala Harris is as useless a VP as Trump was a President. What they have in common was that both were elected for the wrong reasons and the results show.

Two things can be true. Trump and Harris are in completely different ballparks in terms of corruption and incompetence, but just because he’s a moron and a criminal it doesn’t mean we can’t also poke fun at her. I can’t say I’ve ever been particularly impressed with Harris either during her presidential campaign or as Biden’s sidekick, and some of her public statements are genuinely Dan Quayle-esque.

I do note though that VP performance is something people never seemed to care all that much about until now…

^ I think that's because people are genuinely concerned that Biden won't last the term and the Cackler will become President.

If this feeble attempt by the NY District Attorney fails, it might propel Trump to victory in 2024.

Trump really is the world's best property mogul. He lives rent free in the head of millions of people. He even has a more than few properties down under.

Probably because on the odd occasion they bare their hidden skin they get it burnt because they don’t wear sun screen.
I remember Vegas mid summer on our honeymoon, there was a waterpark there back then, you could not stop and on the ground without shoes, it was latterly fry an egg hot!

As I said,David,all this talk about Kamala Harris is just a distraction from the real game.Trump’s criminality and the likelihood of him being being indicted on serveral different charges in different precincts across the country,

The Kamala Harris bashing is just another example of whataboutism,which is basically all the right has got.They can’t defend Trump with a straight face,so they lash out at figures on the other side to draw attention away from him and the crazies in the Republican Party like Marjorie Taylor Greene etc.It’s just such a transparent tactic.
